RESEARCH SCHOOL
Thermodynamic Formalism: Modern Techniques in Smooth Ergodic Theory
(event 2110)
Dates: 01-05 July 2019
Place: CIRM (Marseille Luminy, France)
DESCRIPTION
The school will be in the general area of the workshop and there will be a natural overlap between the lecturers and the speakers. It will be based on courses and survey lectures covering the following topics:
(1) Introductory lectures on Thermodynamic Formalism
(2) Transfer operators and anisotropic Banach spaces;
(3) Geometric zeta functions and Microlocal analysis;
(4) Statistical Properties;
(5) Gibbs measures and Geometry;
(6) Weil-Petersson, Teichmuller geodesic
ows, Translation surfaces
(7) Fractal Geometry

It would be anticipated to invite courses from lecturers noted for their scientific prominence and their ability to communicate: Liverani and/or Gouezel (anisotropic Banach
spaces), Pesin and/or Dolgopyat (Statistical Properties), Dyatlov, Zworski and/or Nonnenmacher (Geometric zeta functions), Paulin and/or Pollicott (Gibbs measures and Geometry), Burns and/or Wilkinson (Weil-Petersson and Teichmüller geodesic flows), Ulcigrai and/or Smillie (Translation surfaces), Falconer and/or Seuret (Fractal Geometry)
Furthermore, it would be appropriate to have keynote talks with one or more of the founding fathers of the subject (Ruelle, Sinai and/or Gallavotti) to give context and history.
The school and workshop could be used as the opportunity to publish a proceedings of targeted surveys and selected research papers.
